After the typical speeches and several rounds of applause, it was explained to the crowd that Still was not fond of tradition and the standard groundbreaking would not take place. Behind the podium a large piece of construction machinery fired up and pounded the ground with a sound you could feel. The appendage rose into the air and paused then turned hard left into the adjacent building. The corner of the building to be replaced with the museum was repeatedly smashed to the tune of low level fireworks.

This was very exciting to view by tape. I’m so pleased the you have arrived to this point of building a Museum to honor Clyfford Still’s art. My Son is Dean Sobel and the local papers are waiting for information on how the Still Family choose Denver for this honor and how you progressed to the actual groundbreaking level.

This was a wonderful tape to see. I’m looking forward to coming for the actual opening.
Dean Sobel is my Son and the local papers are looking forward to having an article about the Clyfford Still Museum and the process of the Still Family choosing Denver for this treasure of art.
Congratulations to your success.
